We also know that E=5% or E=0.05
Also, since, is not given, we will assume that
=0.5. This is because, the formula that we use will have
in the expression and that will be maximum only when
=0.5. (For any other value of
, we will get a value less than 0.25. For example if,
is 0.4, then
and thus,
.).
We will now use the formula
We will now substitute all the data that we have and we will get
which can approximated to n=271.
